How to delete 'Set Selection' Start/End points & save only current selection instead of all;

New member

I want to select short segments to save separately (highlights). Anywhere from 1 to 15 minutes in length, all separate 'saves' each with a different file name based on the material they came from.

1. I don't see anyway to either delete/cancel existing selection marks (start & end). If you want to change any that are already set, all I found is re-load that video to clear out those marks. (I did find how to move them, but I found issues with that if you move one before the other is re-marked first))
2. The other, even worse problem is doing multiple 'cuts' and saves More than one selections), keeps including previous selections, not just the current selection. IOW's it's creating a 'joiner' save type of project, not separate selections. How can I save only the current one I just set, ignoring any marked previously?

That's what I was doing, but I didn't see the way to delete previous edit points until I just now saw, buried in the low right corner 'Remove selected scenes'. One would logically figure moving the edit points would take the focus away from any previous edit, especially since I did not choose the option to join anything.

Another option. Select the portion you want to keep, click "Trim Unselected" and click OK if prompted to replace existing cut. Queue selection to batch. Repeat for each segment. Then run batch when you're done.
